ASUS’s Zenbook line sits in the premium ultraportable bracket, competing with machines like the Dell XPS 13 and HP Spectre for people who want a slim laptop without compromising on screen quality. This UX3405CA-QL104W pairs Intel’s high-end Core Ultra 9 285H with a 14-inch OLED panel, so it’s aimed at buyers who care as much about smooth everyday performance as they do about a punchy, high-contrast display for films, photos and creative work.
Who is this Zenbook for?
If you juggle lots of browser tabs, Office apps and heavier workloads like light video editing, the 32GB of RAM gives you headroom that cheaper ultrabooks can’t match. The 1TB SSD is more than just a number: it means space for big project folders and fast load times, without immediately leaning on external drives. The OLED screen is the main draw, delivering deep blacks and rich colour that makes long sessions more enjoyable — especially if you’re upgrading from a standard IPS panel.
- Core Ultra 9 285H: geared towards demanding multitasking and creator-type workloads
- 32GB RAM: helps keep performance consistent with lots running at once
- 1TB SSD: fast storage with room for large libraries and projects
